The growth in foreign holidays and package holidays at around 6% was not dissimilar to cruising which means that cruising s share of the overall tourism market remains unchanged at 4% while the number of package holiday makers choosing a cruise stayed at about one in nine. In 2016, the majority of the growth came from ex-uk cruising, a sector that now represents over 48% of the total UK market. With more capacity sailing from UK ports the ex-uk cruising sector increased by 9% and fly cruises by 3%.
Given that the global cruise fleet is set to increase by at least a third over the next ten years with a $50 billion commitment for at least 70 more ships the UK and Ireland markets will continue to benefit from the investment being made. There will be capacity additions for the UK and Ireland market from 2017 and this will include the 2020 introduction of the largest ship ever built for the UK, a 5,200-passenger 180,000 tonnes P&O cruise vessel. If the UK and Ireland market continues with its current growth path we could see both ex-uk and fly cruise passengers exceed 1 million in 2017 taking the UK to the 2 million mark for the first time; and with additional capacity entering the market we are likely to see increased cruise penetration of the foreign holiday market.

In 2016, a total of 2.02 million guests went on a cruise compared with 1.81 million passengers in 2015, giving a growth rate of 11.3%. This is the second-time Germany has been positioned as the number one source market in Europe and the second largest globally. Furthermore, sales and the number of passenger nights increased by double-digits and growth was considerably higher than in previous years. The share of the ocean cruise market in the overall travel market in Germany is rising each year. Cruise passengers from the German source market represent just 2.9% of German package holiday makers (68.7 million) but account for 11.2% of German tourism revenue (30.2 billion Euro). In 2016, three out of four Germans chose routes in European waters. Last year, in excess of a third of German passengers cruised through north-western Europe, to the British Isles, and in the Baltic Sea (36.0%; 2015: 33.6%). At 28.3% share, the Mediterranean was one of the most popular destinations with German cruise tourists in 2016 as well as in 2015 (31.2%). More than one in ten passengers cruised to North America and in the Caribbean (11.6%; 2015: 11.3%). The average length of time spent on a cruise rose from 8.69 nights in 2015 to 8.94 nights last year. The number of passenger cruise nights increased by 17.5% to 18.04 million representing the strongest increase since 2010 (2015: 15.75 million).

The following year the Concordia accident had a significant impact on demand which partly recovered in 2013 before falling off again in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The decrease in the number of Italian passengers to the Mediterranean (-7,1% in 2016) reflects a reshaping of the cruise offering and deployment due both to current political developments in the Eastern part of the Mediterranean and to infrastructural and regulatory issues such as the one affecting Venice, the most important Mediterranean cruises home port. The Italian Market remains dominated by the Mediterranean as a destination with 74% of passengers in 2016. 10. France

Like many European countries, an exceptional drop in capacity dedicated to the French market had a greater impact than anticipated, combined with an uncertain geopolitical and economic situation which penalized reservations in the spring of 2016. The Mediterranean decreased by 9% but remains the preferred destination of French cruise guests (59%) thanks in particular to the departures offered from French ports. The Caribbean remains popular with French customers and the number of passengers was the same as in 2015, with an overall market share of 20% (compared to 19% in 2015). Northern Europe fell 13% compared to the previous year. Some long-haul destinations recorded strong growth in 2016 such as Asia and Australia (+23%), cruises to the Emirates and the Indian Ocean (+ 71%) or South America (+ 19%). The average duration of a cruise remains unchanged at 7.8 nights for French passengers, representing 4.45 million overnight stays in 2016 (against 4.825 million in 2015). With a penetration rate of 0.9%, the growth prospects of the French cruise market are among the largest in Europe and the outlook for 2017, despite the withdrawal of one cruise line from the French market, remains positive as new capacity is scheduled to be offered on the market. 10.

Local Transport cruises in Scandinavia excluded from 2015 onwards Source: CLIA Europe/IRN Research Spain experienced robust growth in 2016 consolidating the recovery trend that started the previous year. This was mostly due to the improvement in disposable income for many Spanish households after years of recession. Cruise lines identified early this trend and allocated a significantly larger portion of their European capacity to this source market. As for destinations chosen, traditional itineraries such as the Mediterranean and Northern Europe remained flat and but still accounted for approximately 85% of all traffic. New and alternative programs grew a staggering 38% from 48,000 to 66,000 passengers with Atlantic/Caribbean and Transatlantic cruises leading this growth. This proves not only the resilience of the classic destinations, but also the appetite of many Spaniards to embark into longer/more expensive cruises now that the economic situation has improved. This was further facilitated by the commitment of cruise lines to improved airlift out of Spain to more remote homeports and the opening of an exciting new destination for many Spaniards to go on a cruise such as Cuba.. 12.

The main cause of the decline was the reduction in capacity to Northern European destinations which affected all the Scandinavian countries including Finland. For the Danish market, demand for Northern Europe contracted by 15% and it accounts for 25% of the market. At the same time the Caribbean which accounts for 23% of the market fell by 8%. The declines in Northern Europe and the Caribbean were partly offset by 11% growth in the Mediterranean to reach nearly 10,000 passengers. Two thirds of the Danish market is accounted for by the top three cruise lines.
